Would you be ok with your DH inviting his female boss to do this?

Not OP, but here are some places I’ve attended conferences where I assume snorkeling and jetskiing tours are nearby:

Waldorf Astoria Key West (looks like it’s now called Casa Marina)
Ritz St Thomas
JW Marriott Marco Island
Marriott Sanibel Harbour

Plus there are a few places on Key Largo. I’ve just never personally been to a conference there.

Should I find a way to cancel? I really don't want to but I can see why this may seem inappropriate from the outside. Boss is 5 years older than me fwiw.


How far away is this place that you need to arrive a whole day early?

There are no conferences that do this.

Try harder Troll. Less total nonsense.


This is the day before the conference. Many industries have conferences at fancy resorts.


Sorry, not on the ocean or big lakes. not even MasterCraft.

Name the BS resort or conference Op.


Not sure why you are obsessed over this one point. Because I made it up?

I googled Miami industry conferences and 12 popped up between October and December.

I am sure if you google warm weather locations like Tampa or other Florida cities or San Diego you will also see a bunch pop up.


Those have huge office districts and expo centers.

No ones at a conference in swimsuits with their boss or “water sports” out on the open water ocean. lol. No one would pay for a bunch of execs to crash around and on a wave runner in Miami.

Did you say San Diego? Do you even know what temp the water is there and how wavy?

Name the conference location where white collar workers are swimming and water sporting together at. It’s not Miami nor San Diego. It’s not in USA.

I used to work at a company that had an annual retreat at a Caribbean resort. I saw lots of coworkers in swimming attire, and I was in swimming attire myself. Not sure why that's a big deal.

Yeah, it’s like having a liquid lunch.

This could be a golden opportunity, OP. Don’t let DH take the piss out of you for trying to get ahead at work. You’ve got to take care of Number 1. Once you’ve doused the competition and whizzed to the top of the org chart, he’ll be showering you with compliments.

Spot on. The boss is giving you a leg up. Why flush that away?

I distinctly remember it was a man who as a teen had been riding with his friend's mom (or his older female host, at any rate).

If you felt comfortable asking, then you must have a boss that you are fine interacting with in athletic swimming attire. Your husband should calm the heck down.

I don't think this is a troll. But I would like OP to come back and tell us how the water sports with her boss went.
